Earlier in the fourth PSL match today, Multan Sultans made a remarkable comeback and defeated Islamabad United by five wickets. 

A maginificent bowling spell from Multan Sultans had restricted Islamabad United to 125 runs.

Islamabad bowlers scrapped hard, and in the end, Multan needed the experience of two most able finishers in recent times to finish this off. Masood started off well, but fell to some mindless running. Evans and Azam just didn’t get their timing going. But then Russell and Afridi came in with lusty blows, while Malik played the anchor’s role to perfection in getting Multan their first win of the tournamant.
